About IQ Data International

888-826-6110 is a number used by IQ Data International (also known as IQ Data), a debt collection agency. If they're calling you, they believe you owe a debt — either one they bought, or one they're collecting for someone else.

Also written 888-826-6110, (888) 826-6110, 888.826.6110, 888 826 6110, 8888266110, 18888266110.

First: what time did they call?

Before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. your local time is a violation.

Not a grey area — 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(1) prohibits it outright, and every off-hours call is a separate violation. The FDCPA lets consumers recover statutory damages plus attorney's fees, so the time on your call log matters.

How to stop calls from 888-826-6110

  1. Write down what happened. Date, time, what was said. The timeline is what turns a nuisance into a documented pattern.
  2. Send a cease & desist. Once a collector receives written notice to stop contacting you, § 1692c(c) requires them to stop — with narrow exceptions.
  3. Or dispute the debt. Within 30 days of first contact, a written dispute forces them to stop collecting until they produce verification (§ 1692g).
  4. Keep every violation. Off-hours calls, threats, calls to your employer or family — each one is evidence.

A cease & desist only counts once they receive it, which is why these go by certified mail with tracking.

Is 888-826-6110 a scam?

IQ Data International is a real collection agency, so a call from this number is most likely genuine. That doesn't mean the debt is yours, or that the amount is right. Either way, a legitimate collector must identify itself, and must send written validation of the debt within five days of first contacting you (§ 1692g(a)). If they won't put it in writing, treat that as the answer.

Never pay to make calls stop before you've seen validation in writing. Paying can restart the statute of limitations on a debt that was already too old to enforce.
